A nationwide case-control study compared the prevalence and magnitude of risk factors for sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) in male and female infants. The risk factors of SIDS and their magnitude for males and females are very similar. After adjustment for potential confounders male infants had a 1.42-fold (95% CI = 1.04, 1.94) increased risk of SIDS compared with females. Risk factors identified in most epidemiological studies are not the reason for the increased SIDS mortality seen in male infants.
一项全国性病例对照研究比较了男、女婴儿中婴儿猝死综合征（SIDS）的危险因素患病率及严重程度。SIDS的危险因素及其在男性和女性中的严重程度非常相似。在对潜在混杂因素进行调整后，与女性相比，男婴患SIDS的风险增加了1.42倍（95%CI = 1.04, 1.94）。大多数流行病学研究中确定的危险因素并非男婴SIDS死亡率增加的原因。
